New & Improved Tapping Videos!

Yesterday the miraculous happened: makeup, childcare, and my energy level all aligned, and I took the opportunity to create new tapping videos! About a week after I created the old one, I knew I could do better. Well, I finally have. While not any more comfortable on camera, I am at least more useful this go around.

(Aside: If you’re wondering what on earth this “tapping” thing is, check out my tapping article for a thorough explanation and instructions. But the short version is that it’s an acupressure technique for relieving anxiety, releasing trauma, and processing strong emotions. )

Here’s what I’ve got for you today:

3 Minute Hand Position/Acupressure Points Video

This is a quick way to get a visual for the first time or refresh your memory. You can use it along with the written instructions here.

13 Minute Tap-along-with-Me Video

If you’re new to tapping or feeling particularly distressed, just start the video and tap along with me, step-by-step. You don’t have to do this alone! All you need first is a glass of water and your clearing statement (instructions on this page).

Even though I still feel afraid of publishing videos like these online, two years’ growth has grown my courage. I know more than ever that tapping works, and I’ve gained confidence talking about it even in skeptical and Christian circles. Why not offer a tool that’s yielded only good fruit in my life? More and more I’m aware of the profound suffering around me and within. I hope these videos can be a small drop in the bucket.

On the fence? Wondering what you might tap about? Besides the ideas in my tapping post, here are a few situations I’ve tapped about recently:

Recording videos and putting them on the Internet (!)

My 3yo angrily refusing the food I cook

An email from my nutritionist saying that what I’m doing isn’t enough

Simply processing the day’s emotional ups and downs

Judging myself for feeling rage and hate. Good Christian girls don’t feel like that, do they?

My body looking different after babies/not living up to how I should look

Feeling weak and sick

Annoyed with my husband for _______

Whew. That’s probably more than enough self-disclosure for one day. Care to share what you tap about — or might try tapping about?
